Region of the Yukon known for its 1896 gold rush (8)

I believe the answer is:

klondike

(Other definitions for klondike that I've seen before include "Canadian gold rush area" , "where many claimed to become rich" , "Region of gold rush" , "Scene of a 19th c. gold rush in Canada" , "1890s bonanza; card game" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
